Pangolin are one of the few manufacturers on Pandora that does not produce guns. Their shields provide higher capacity, true to their namesake, but at the cost of a longer shield recharge delay. In Borderlands 2, their shields continue their significant capacity, though with penalties to max health instead.

Trivia

• The pangolin is a primarily nocturnal, insect-eating mammal which can curl into a ball for protection, and has a thick coat of scales (modified hair) to protect it. This natural protection is what inspired the manufacturer's name.
